The Allegheny SAF has a membership of 1,100 professional foresters in the five states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

Since 1900, the Society of American Foresters has provided access to information and networking opportunities to prepare members for the challenges and the changes that face natural resource professionals.

Stand Up For Forestry

Many of you will remember Harry Wiant. Dr. Wiant was the 1997 President of Society of American Foresters, one time chair of the Allegheny SAF and professor at West Virginia University and former Ibberson Chair professor at Penn State.

Below is a link to the Stand Up for Forestry booklet that the Allegheny printed in November 1996, as a collection of Harry's articles. Also the Penn State Extension offered a blog post discussing Dr. Wiant's talk by the same name.
